Screens that follow your opening hours
TVpilot is digital signage software that turns the TVs in your shop, cafe or office into screens you manage from one web dashboard, from Kristiansand to Tromsø. Menus, offers and the weather switch on a schedule you set once, and the TVs go to standby when you close. Your first screen is free forever.
Free plan, no credit card. Paid plans from €5 per month.
The TVs stay on all night and on the days the shop is closed.
Set on and off hours per screen. A Raspberry Pi switches the TV on and to standby through HDMI-CEC, so the screens follow your opening hours without a smart plug.
Each branch has its own USB stick, and nobody knows which one is out of date.
Every screen in every town runs from one dashboard. Change a price or a campaign once and it reaches all branches, or only the ones you pick.
Signage software looks great in English, but your customers read Norwegian.
Screens show whatever you make: write your slides in Norwegian in the Designer, describe a screen to AI Studio, or play a design from Canva. Edits in Canva reach the screens by themselves.
Real screens, ready to use
Every screen below is a live plugin or a design you make in minutes. Mix them in one playlist, or give each screen its own.
Weather for your town
Today's temperature and the week ahead, in a lobby, a cafe or a shop that sells outdoor gear.

See how it worksPlan once, and every screen follows the clock
Give slides weekdays, hours and an end date, or plan whole playlists in the calendar. The screens switch on time, even when the internet drops.
- 08:00
Morning
The Pi switches the TV on and the lobby screen shows a welcome and today's weather.
- 11:00
Lunch
A canteen that serves lunch from 11:00 to 13:00 sets the menu once as a weekday slot.
- 15:00
Dark afternoon
In winter it gets dark early, and the shop window screen keeps promoting this week's offer.
- 18:00
Closing time
The TVs go to standby on schedule, and stay off on Sunday if that is how you set them.
- 03:00
Overnight
Player updates install at 03:00 Norwegian time, because every screen follows its own clock.
Everything you need, nothing you don't
TVs on and off by schedule
A Raspberry Pi switches the TV on and to standby through HDMI-CEC and restarts its player by itself after a power cut.

Weekly menu slots, one-off event days and, on Pro and Business, blackout dates. Screens keep following the plan during an internet outage.
Weather and air quality

Frequently asked questions
Can my screens show content in Norwegian?
Yes. Screens show whatever you make, so write your slides in Norwegian, English or both. Use the Designer, AI Studio, or a Canva design, PDF or image made elsewhere.
Is the dashboard available in Norwegian?
Not yet. The dashboard is available in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Malay, Simplified Chinese and Thai, chosen per user in Settings. Emails and invoices from TVpilot are in English.
Which player should I use in Norway?
A Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 is the most reliable: one install command, it restarts its own player and switches the TV on and off through HDMI-CEC. An Android TV box with Fully Kiosk Browser or the browser of a smart TV also works. The Amazon Signage Stick is sold on Amazon in the US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Canada.
How am I billed from Norway?
Plans are priced in euros and paid by card; your bank converts the amount to kroner. Free is 1 screen forever without a card, Starter €5 per month for 3 screens, Pro €29 for 10 and Business €99 for 25. Prices exclude VAT.
Where is our data stored?
TVpilot is built in the Netherlands and your data is hosted in the EU under GDPR. Every user can turn on two-factor authentication, and on Pro and Business you can require it for the whole team.
Can a screen skip Sundays and holidays?
Yes. Set on and off hours per screen for each day of the week, so the TVs stay in standby on Sunday, and choose which weekdays a slide or playlist plays. On Pro and Business you can add blackout dates to the calendar.
